The Good Friend Checklist!

     What's in a friend? A lot of stuff. What's in a good friend? A whole lot more. Good friends are sometimes hard to come by. Want to know if your friend is a good one? Check out this short checklist, and see how many things you can say, "Yes! My friend is that way!" to. Count how many you say that to (each bullet is just one question, there are 11) and then check out the results at the bottom once you are done.

  • Does your friend care about your feelings? When you are hurt (either by emotionally or physically) does your friend seem to care or even notice? 
  • Is your friend someone you enjoy hanging out with? Do you see that friend often?
  • Do they have (at least a few) positive character traits? (post link)
  • Does your friend use nice words on you and other people? 
  • Is your friend honest? Do they tell you things and not keep many secrets?
  • Is your friend fair to everyone?
  • Do they share? 
  • Are they helpful?
  • Do they make you smile?
  • Does your friend make you laugh?
  • Are they willing to speak with you about important issues in your life or theirs?
RESULTS: (Each bullet is one question, there are 11)
If you said "yes" to 0-3 questions, I think it's time you start thinking about this friendship.
If you said "yes" to 4-6 questions, your friendship is doing okay, it's going fine. 
If you said "yes" to 7-10 questions, then you have a pretty solid friendship! Keep doing what you're doing. 
If you said "yes" to all 11, great job! You have an awesome friendship! 

I hope this checklist was helpful and gave you some advice. Thanks for reading it! Stay kind! If you ever have a friendship problem, please tell us in the comments and we can help you out. Bye!
